Disenchanted Self – Representing the Subject in the Canterbury Tales (Paper)
Autor Leicesteren Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 iun 1992
Leicester reads the Canterbury Tales as radically voiced and redefines concepts like "self" and "character" in the light of current discussions of language and subjectivity. He argues for Chaucer's disenchanted practical understanding of the constructed character of the self, gender, and society, building his case through close readings of the Pardoner's, Wife of Bath's, and Knight's tales. His study is among the first major treatments of Chaucer's poetry utilizing the techniques of contemporary literary theory and provides new models for reading the poems while revising many older views of them and of Chaucer's relation to his age.

Descriere
Drawing on ideas from deconstruction, psychoanalysis, and social theory, this title proposes that Chaucer can lead us beyond the impasses of contemporary literary theory and suggests approaches to questions of agency, representation, and the gendered imagination.
